Canadian Spring Bear Hunt Packing List

In order to enjoy every aspect of your spring bear hunt to the fullest there are a few things you should bring along.
- A mesh bug proof head cover, for the mosquito's.  Bears like to be near water in heavily wooded areas.  Freshly hatched mosquito's also like these areas making this item a very important item that I would not recommend going without.
- Bug proof gloves, While I'm on the mosquito topic bare skin is a bad idea.  You want to be able to sit still and do your best to be undetected while on the stand.
-Quiet Camo Rain Gear, Although the rain isn't the best of hunting conditions it is one that is unpredictable and one that we will endure and hunt through, so having the right gear for the situation is important.
-Orange ball cap and Vest, I'm speaking for rifle hunters headed to our neck of the woods in Saskatchewan.  This is a regulation for all rifle hunters or bow hunters carrying a rifle.  Bowhunters, muzzleloaders and shotgun hunters are exempt from this rule.
-Water Proof Boots, Every stand location is different but some might include a little bit of swamping on the ATV's to get to.  Dry feet ensure a comfortable evening in the stand.
-Reasonably Warm Clothing,  The spring weather in Saskatchewan is a unpredictable variable on your hunt.  It can range from the mid 40's on through the lower 70's.  Having the right gear with you to comfortably endure these temperatures will ensure a pleasant experience.
-2 boxes of Ammunition, Airlines and baggage handling is another unpredictable aspect of your trip.  Having extra ammunition so that any issues with your firearm and optics can be corrected before you hit the stand.
-Firearm or Bow, It's hard to hunt without them.
-Passport, It is a requirement for any non resident of Canada to enter the country.
-Firearm at the Border- You are required to declare your firearm at the border by having the paperwork in the attached link filled out and on person. www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/form-formulaire/pdfs/5590-eng.pdf

Top 3 Giant Saskatchewan Whitetails Ever Harvested

Image
Saskatchewan has always been on the map when it comes to some of the largest whitetails ever harvested world wide.  The popularity of hunting this ungulate is largely driven because whitetails are the widest spread species of the deer family, living throughout much of Canada, United States, Mexico, Central America, South America and even being introduced into some European country's as well.   The buck featured at the top of the page is the Elburn Kohler Buck.  Harvested in 1957 and registered in the town of White Fox Saskatchewan.  This beast of a whitetail holds the number one spot for non velvet non typical whitetails ever harvested in the province measuring out at a whopping 257 3/8". This next buck is the largest Non Typical/ velvet whitetail ever harvested in Saskatchewan.  Harvested by Dallas Heinrichs from Loydminister in 2012 and scoring an incredible 271 0/8.    You can't have a list of Saskatchewan's top whitetails without including the World&#

Circle Hooks For Giant Northern Pike

Image
Like most people I was once a quick strike user.  In the past three ice fishing seasons I have not tied on a single treble hook.  Not because they don't work but rather because the circle hook single handedly saves fish, and hook up rates when used properly are equal or even slightly higher. The key is bait/ hook size.  Since there is just a single hook in the middle of the bait, you need a bait rigid enough to sit horizontal.   Smelts, ciscoes, herrings and even some alwives are perfect for this technique.  The baits we run are anywhere from 5-10" in length.  Small baits when targeting giant pike but like any fish big pike are opportunistic and will eat these bite sized meals.  Hook size can be experimented with but what we have found is 5/0 owner hooks perform exceptionally well. Pictured above is another 30lbs pike with a 5/0 circle hook in the corner of the mouth.  We have found that roughly 8 out of every 10 pike caught on a circle hook are hooked coffin corner.
